Financing of military aid to Kiev remains blocked, and a decision on the matter is expected at the summit on 14-15 December. This was stated by Josep Borrell, head of European diplomacy, after the meeting of the Council of the European Union’s Foreign Ministers.
The issue of military aid to Ukraine has been discussed for quite some time. In September, the European Union proposed to provide financial assistance to Ukraine in the amount of 1.2 billion euros to strengthen its defense capabilities. The proposal was supported by the majority of EU member states, but it was blocked by the Czech Republic and Slovakia, who argued that Ukraine did not need military assistance.
The situation changed in October, when the European Union reached an agreement on the issue and agreed to provide Ukraine with financial assistance. However, the Czech Republic and Slovakia still blocked the decision, citing their own concerns.
At the summit on 14-15 December, the European Union will once again discuss the issue of financing military aid to Ukraine. The European Commission and the European Council have already expressed their support for the proposal, and the European Parliament has also expressed its support.
It is expected that the European Union will finally resolve the issue of financing military aid to Ukraine at the summit. It is hoped that the issue will be resolved in a positive way and that Ukraine will finally receive the financial assistance it needs to strengthen its defense capabilities.
The European Union’s support for Ukraine is an important step towards peace and stability in the region. This financial assistance will help Ukraine to protect its borders and to ensure the security of its citizens. It will also help to strengthen the country’s economy and create new jobs.
In conclusion, it is clear that the European Union is committed to providing Ukraine with the necessary assistance to ensure its security and stability. The summit on 14-15 December is a crucial step in this process, and it is hoped that a positive decision will be taken.
